We decided to go to the Lime Inn because we remembered it as being good the last time we went to St. John. It was a Wednesday night when you can get all you can eat shrimp. The four of us ordered the shrimp. It was very good, but not fantastic. The drinks were good and the service attentive. The... More

This was really the only decent meal out (at a nice restaurant) that we had in St. John. Service was decent. The owner was onsite and came around to all of the tables to check in on them. We had steaks, which were a bit tough. As with my other reviews, the rating compares Lime Inn to other STJ restaurants.... More

Perhaps we were there on an off night, but this place just didn't impress. There was a lot of attentive service (three separate servers), but not particularly effective. The pace of the meal was very disjointed - drinks were a bit sporadic, the cold appetizers took a very long time, and the hot meal was almost immediately on its heels.... More

A very enjoyable experience. The entire staff was friendly, the food was out of this world and the service was unmeasured. This was our best dinning experience during our eight day stay. Check-out their website to see what weekly specials they have. More

We were greeted with a smile, and both the hostess and our server stopped by the table a few times during our meal to see how everything was going. A very personable, and comfortable, dining atmosphere. Our favorite dinner restaurant during a five night stay. More

This has been one of my favourite spots on the island for many years, but they are starting to slip. The food was mediocre, the kitchen's timing was off, and the server, while pleasant, was incompetent. More

From the street, you might not think it will be so ggod, but it was. Good size meals and all of them were excellent. There were hanging pots with sugar water which attracted and large number of small birds which was most entertaining. This was one of our best dinners while in St John's More

We go to Lime Inn every time we are in Cruz Bay. It continues to be one of our favorites. The whole jerked snapper is great. The shrimp and scallop scampi is also wonderful. You really can't go wrong. The service is great. More

We had heard the the Lime Inn did great Caribbean Lobster but found it to just be ok. The only plus is that they have parking in front which is tough to come by in Cruz Bay. Service was great but food was so-so. More

We appreciate your feedback but are a little surprised that the lobster wasn't delicious. We are known for our lobster and get it fresh from local fisherman daily. They come to us alive and we quickly cook them up and serve them. It's simple, but it's Caribbean lobster in its purest form. And thank you for complimenting our service, this... More
